> afraid his ex was going to leak all of his discovery documents on the internet
Any chance of getting a clear protective order in advance from the judge, and then enforcing that with contempt of court sanctions if his ex violated the order?
The discovery process is very, very intrusive (sometimes unbelievably so), but judges presiding over cases involving sensitive discovery may be interested in trying to use their powers to mitigate harms from leaks.
(You could use some kind of PDF watermark or text watermark to confirm that the leaked version was the version produced in discovery.)
